I did most of my Christmas shopping online this past weekend and have been receiving packages over the last few days. Yesterday I found a parcel left under my mat on the front porch. I opened the box to find not the stuff I was expecting, but my Schnoz presents inside! What a cool surprise! I felt like a kid at Christmas again. Thank you so much for all the lovely gifts, Theoden! I will enjoy them!

A good sword, even if it rusts and dulls, has good steel that never rusts left over in the wick. That steel's the ultimate steel. Even if it cracks, if you return it to the fire, it's sure to be reborn. - Godot

This year my Secret Shnoz was JMP and holy crap. . . JMP you are so incredibly beyond kind. I really have been spoiled!

First off, Japan is one of the Miura works that I haven't read yet and I'm so happy that I finally own it! I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this; I just know it!

Kubo is an amazing work of animation. I am so glad I got to see it on the big screen and I'm double-glad that I now own my own copy. To those who haven't seen this movie, please give it a shot. Also watch all the other Laika movies.

The Labyrinth 30th anniversary blu-ray looks amazing. What a great package and I'm looking forward to seeing all the special features! This one I consider to be a gift for both me AND Grail so an extra extra thank you for that, JMP!

Last but not least, you got me hot sauce! And this stuff looks like the real deal, which is awesome. The warning on the side of the box actually advises people not to fucking buy it because it's so intense, hahaha!

JMP you are an absolute class act. Thank you so much for your generosity. May you, your family, and your friends all have the merriest of holidays. You kick so much ass.

P.S. That bag is so cool. I am seriously impressed by that brand stamp!

May you, your family, and your friends all have the merriest of holidays.

And all the same to you and yours!

I most certainly did. And I fully intend to put my hot sauce where my mouth is.

...maybe a bit in some chili or soup. Sounds like it's more of a food additive than a sauce you would put directly on something. I was looking out of curiosity at different Scoville levels and apparently it's got a higher rating than what's in some pepper sprays. Use with caution indeed!

2. How long did it take before your mouth returned to normal? Did it fuck up your tongue/tastebuds like cinnamon candies tend to do if you eat too many at once

It took probably a good half-hour for my mouth to return back to normal. As for my stomach, that's another story. For hours I had the craziest stomach pains. Not your usual stomach ache; it felt like a jagged, heavy rock was sitting in there. I can't wait to try more!

Gob, you're crazy. I couldn't believe it when you kept dabbing so much of that stuff on. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. Got to hand it to you, you certainly didn't take the easy way out on trying that sauce! Those croquettes looked delicious, by the way. Well, here's wishing you luck on the exit stage. This, too shall pass!

Same here - when I saw Gobs DUMPING on that sauce, I couldn't help but think, "He's going to regret this later..."

That said, he handled it better than I expected, because that sauce is really no joke. If what I've read is accurate, the number of Scoville units in that sauce is equal to the number found in ghost peppers, which I understand until recently were the spiciest peppers in the world.
